I have a idea of one thing he's been up to, just can't share, he'll have to post a pic. Then yall can give him a hard time, lol. Nope, not Blazer or even Chevy related, lol. Fun though, I've had one.

vtblazer · 01-13-2010, 07:07 PM

Okay, okay already...

60'x40' ice rink for the family.

HA - you were talkin' about the heep but I fooled ya!

True though...what ever time that has been spent 'out in the shop' hasn't been spent on the K5.

vtblazer · 01-14-2010, 09:01 AM

Back on track...

Did some trading and picked up a set of Sanderson block-hugger headers, along with a set of 2" lift 56" long Sky-Jacker springs for the rear which should net me a 6" total lift in the rear.
(no pics of those, still need to pick em up)

jaros44sr · 01-14-2010, 02:30 PM

Wow, those headers look like a perfect match and clearance, nice work! Clears the frame nicely.

What's next on the list to do? How was your clearance on the oil pan with the DIY crossmember?

Wildstreak · 01-13-2010, 07:31 PM

thats awesome!! my dad used to do that for me when i was a kid, great memories will be made!

**lks dcvn** · 01-13-2010, 07:35 PM

Nice! That should be fun for a few months - enjoy!

hgs_notes · 01-13-2010, 07:36 PM

Excellent, we've knocked the idea around for a rink at our house too, but never did. Too many trees in the way.

Chevyman63 · 01-13-2010, 08:04 PM

Very nice job Kurt!!

Big J · 01-13-2010, 09:13 PM

That looks like a blast. I'd bet money you've had the rc trucks on it too, I know I would. I was referring to your recent aquisition.

OH NO! Don't tell me he did it, I guess we will just have to wait and see

Chevyman63 · 01-13-2010, 09:58 PM

Yup...he did!

my67chevytruck · 01-13-2010, 11:55 PM

great progress....

litebulblsc · 01-14-2010, 09:43 PM

I was hoping you were talking about a dirt bike, not a jeep or a ford.

cool, you got a jeep and I got a Ford...

that rink is very cool...

vtblazer · 01-17-2010, 07:15 PM

Okay, got the heep done enough to kick it out of the K5 space.
Time to get somethin' done!

Took some passenger side header pics while I was out there today, the headers fit the frame well but look to be uber tight exiting towards the bell housing.

Wildstreak · 01-21-2010, 10:54 PM

why cant I find those headers for sale anywhere? I went to see if the headers I had would fit and passenger hits the tranny, so Ill be needing a new set, and I remembered these looking good. do you know anywhere that sells them?

vtblazer · 01-22-2010, 06:59 AM

Add $150.00 for the ceramic coating.

hgs_notes · 01-22-2010, 09:29 AM

Can you get a ratchet on all of the spark plugs? Looks like #6 might be tight.

They're always tight...

The bigger question in my mind is, "will it burn the plug wires"

Had a set on the blue one that were literally impossible to stop from burning through and arcing out.

Just curious because I was looking at those for my C-10. They have shorty plugs available but want to avoid that if I can.

Wildstreak · 01-22-2010, 12:41 PM

thanks man you are my savior!

Wildstreak · 01-22-2010, 04:41 PM

would those spark plug wire kevlar boots help prevent burning?
